It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists -
Chapter 511: Between Cuckolding and Being Cuckolded Lies Just a Single Thought
A soft, sweet, and melodious voice echoed through the bedchamber, seemingly plucking at Mu Zhian’s heartstrings.
But at the same time, a big question arose in his mind.
She said punishment… Where’s the punishment? Why did it feel like Luo Tan was teasing him?
Who punished someone by covering their eyes with a piece of their own dress?
And there wasn’t a hint of coldness in her tone…
At this moment, Mu Zhian couldn’t quite grasp what the Pill Emperor was thinking.
Earlier, when Luo Tan asked him if he had been intimate with the Princess, Mu Zhian initially wanted to lie.
But before that, he thought of something else.
When exactly did Luo Tan guess that a wisp of Yao Meng’s spiritual sense was residing in his Green Lotus Ring?
When he first arrived in Yu State a few days ago, Luo Tan definitely hadn’t noticed, otherwise she wouldn’t have waited until tonight to reveal it.And before tonight, he hadn’t had any intimate contact with Luo Tan, so she couldn’t have sensed the abnormality in the Green Lotus Ring herself.
In other words, someone must have ‘tipped her off’.
Then who could it be?
Among the people Luo Tan interacted with today, the most likely person to know the secret of the Green Lotus Ring, and also tell Luo Tan about it, seemed to be only the Princess.
In other words, Luo Tan asking him tonight whether he had been intimate with the Princess was simply to confirm whether he would lie to her.
Mu Zhian’s vision was completely dark, the white fabric of the dress covering his eyes, even his spiritual sense temporarily blocked. But smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the woman’s white dress beside him, he inexplicably felt relieved.
Judging from Luo Tan’s tone and attitude just now, he seemed to have guessed correctly.
However, come to think of it, why did the Princess tell her everything…? Wasn’t it supposed to be a secret between them?
Although he knew their relationship was much closer than he imagined, Mu Zhian still hadn’t expected the Princess to even tell Luo Tan about their intimacy.
“I know you must be guessing what kind of punishment I’ll give you,” Luo Tan circled around Mu Zhian and said with amusement, “But before that, I want to ask you a question.”
“Is there a reward for answering correctly?” Mu Zhian asked.
Luo Tan was slightly taken aback, then smiled brightly, “Of course. But since there’s a reward for answering correctly, there should naturally be a punishment for answering incorrectly, right?”
“Why don’t you tell me the question first, Your Majesty?” For some reason, Mu Zhian felt like she was setting a trap for him.
Luo Tan placed her hands on Mu Zhian’s shoulders, pressing him against the chair behind him, looking at the blindfolded young man, and said with a smile, “Since you were intimate with the Princess in Cloud Province…you should know what she looks like, right? Isn’t she very beautiful?”
Mu Zhian hesitated slightly, then said, “Her Highness is indeed very beautiful, but Your Majesty’s beauty is peerless, no less than the Princess.”
Luo Tan couldn’t help but be stunned, then looked at the young man with amusement, finding it quite interesting.
She hadn’t even asked the question yet, but Mu Zhian already knew what she wanted to ask, even preemptively blocking her words…
Luo Tan naturally didn’t know that Mu Zhian, a veteran in the field of romance, had experienced this kind of question too many times before and naturally guessed what she wanted to ask the moment she opened her mouth.
This kind of loaded question, no matter how he answered, wouldn’t end well.
Choosing Luo Tan, she might not be happy either, after all, the Princess was her best friend, and she was also intimate with Mu Zhian.
But choosing the Princess… was even less likely to make her happy.
The only solution was to praise both of them before the question even came out, blocking it completely.
Heh, although she’s at Dao Integration Realm, in terms of romantic experience, she’s still no match for me…
Seeing Luo Tan’s momentary silence, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but feel a little smug.
However, just then, he heard Luo Tan’s soft and sweet voice again, “Then between me and the Princess, who do you think is a better kisser?”
Mu Zhian’s train of thought screeched to a halt.
Wait, hold on!
Why ask such a strange question out of the blue?!
“Your Majesty…”
“Me?” Luo Tan’s voice held a hint of amusement.
Mu Zhian shook his head and sighed softly, “Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to answer this question.”
Luo Tan: “Hmm? Is there something you can’t say?”
She looked at the blindfolded young man, then glanced playfully at the beautiful woman standing on Mu Zhian’s other side.
Mu Zhian’s expression remained calm, “If I answer Her Highness the Princess now, what would you think?”
Luo Tan didn’t speak.
“But if I don’t answer Her Highness the Princess, what would you think then?”
Mu Zhian sighed, “You would think I’m being glib, flattering you in front of you, and flattering the Princess in front of her, two-faced… So no matter how I answer, it’s not appropriate.”
Luo Tan was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly, “If you could apply this kind of wit to proper matters, you would be more than qualified to be my advisor.”
Mu Zhian smiled and countered, “Can’t I stay by your side if I’m not an advisor?”
Although he couldn’t see anything, Mu Zhian held Luo Tan’s hand as if by instinct and said softly, “You can have many advisors by your side, but the only one who can assist you to the very end is me.”
He possessed the Innate Celestial Furnace, so he was naturally qualified to say this.
For a moment, Mu Zhian could feel Luo Tan’s body stiffen slightly. Although he couldn’t see her expression, it wasn’t hard to imagine that it was probably somewhat flustered.
This Empress, like Yao Meng, had high attack but low defense. She could tease others, but when it was her turn to be teased, Luo Tan would feel a girlish shyness and delight.
“You…you still haven’t answered my question.”
Just then, Luo Tan suddenly said softly, her voice tinged with shyness.
Mu Zhian slowly shook his head, “If you’re asking me to choose between the Princess and you, then please forgive me for not being able to answer… Besides, what happened between the Princess and me was a few days ago, and it’s been a long time since I was intimate with you, so I can’t make a direct comparison now…”
He thought this explanation was enough to make Luo Tan drop the question, but then he heard her ask softly:
“Then what if you make a choice after experiencing it again?”
“Then, without a doubt, I would choose you,” Mu Zhian replied calmly and confidently.
“Because I’m right in front of you now, so it gives you the most direct experience?”
Luo Tan seemed to understand the implication in Mu Zhian’s words and chuckled softly, “Then what if the person being intimate with you right now isn’t just me alone? What would you choose then?”
Mu Zhian was stunned. Something about her words felt off…
He was about to speak, but just then, he felt the woman’s soft lips gently pressing against his.
His eyes were covered by the white fabric of the dress, his vision completely dark. But for some reason, it was precisely this darkness that allowed him to sense the woman’s presence more clearly.
This isn’t Luo Tan!
After savoring the kiss for a moment, this thought instantly flashed through Mu Zhian’s mind.
Although the other party had concealed her aura, for some reason, Mu Zhian just had this intuition.
The person kissing him right now wasn’t Luo Tan… There was a third person in this bedchamber!
Just then, Luo Tan embraced him from behind, pressing her soft body against his back, and said in a soft and sweet voice, “Do you like this surprise?”
Mu Zhian was silent for a moment, wanting to remove the cloth covering his eyes.
However, Luo Tan pressed his hand, stopping him, and said gently, “Don’t take it off… She’s a bit shy, so let’s keep it like this for now.”
Towards the end of her words, she looked up at the beautiful woman before Mu Zhian with a slight smile.
The two women surrounded Mu Zhian, one in front and one behind. He felt his mind slowing down.
After a long while, the kiss ended, and Mu Zhian gently exhaled, boldly reaching out to hold the woman’s soft, small hand, then whispered, “Your Highness…?”
Silence fell upon the bedchamber.
The Princess’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she glared at Luo Tan, who was watching the show, then said, “How did you find out?”
Even when annoyed, she still looked like a pouting lover, her gentle eyes filled with resentment. Truly a gentle woman.
Mu Zhian smiled, “If I couldn’t even tell Your Highness’s scent, then as Your Highness’s secret lover… I would be a failure.”
The Princess had indeed concealed her aura, making it impossible for him to sense it with his current realm. But with the Princess so close to him, how could Mu Zhian not notice?
“But I’m a bit curious, why are you here tonight…?” Mu Zhian suddenly asked.
“I asked her to come.”
Luo Tan removed the cloth covering Mu Zhian’s eyes.
The beautiful and refined Pill Emperor, in her magnificent white dress, said with a smile, “I’ve roughly figured out why you and the Princess became intimate… You want to comprehend the Great Dao’s laws, right?”
Before Mu Zhian could speak, a playful glint flashed through Luo Tan’s beautiful eyes, like autumn water, “Quite a few people wanted to use our Great Peng Emperor’s wife to comprehend the Great Dao in the past. I didn’t expect her to choose you in the end.”
Mu Zhian was somewhat speechless: “So Your Majesty knows everything…”
He knew the Princess and Luo Tan had a good relationship, but he didn’t expect the Princess to even tell Luo Tan about this…
“She didn’t tell me about what happened between you two at first. I just became suspicious when you returned to Yu State today, so I tested her a bit during the day,” Luo Tan said with a faint smile.
“But what do you mean by calling the Princess to the bedchamber tonight…?” Mu Zhian asked tentatively.
“Since you want to comprehend the Great Dao’s laws, the easiest way is to enter the Great Dao, then try to resonate with it when you reach the peak of Nascent Soul Realm… As long as the Great Dao acknowledges you, you can use the Great Dao for your Dao Integration.”
Luo Tan looked at Mu Zhian and said softly, “You can reach the peak of Nascent Soul Realm tonight. As for whether you can comprehend the Dao, it depends on whether the Great Dao acknowledges your existence.”
Mu Zhian’s eyes widened slightly. Looking at Luo Tan’s beautiful face, and the hint of shyness in her usually lofty eyes, he understood her meaning.
Luo Tan wanted him to break through to the peak of Nascent Soul Realm tonight, then use the Princess’s special constitution, connected to the Great Dao, to comprehend the Great Dao in one fell swoop!
Only moonlight streamed into the bedchamber, a brief silence falling upon the room, the atmosphere somewhat ambiguous.
Setting aside the Princess, although she was the Great Peng Emperor’s wife, she was still inexperienced, possessing the mature sensuality of a young woman, yet as innocent as a blank sheet of paper when it came to relationships.
As for Luo Tan… although she was the inviolable Empress in the eyes of the Yu State cultivators, she, like the Princess, hadn’t had any physical contact with men before…
Yet under these circumstances, she actually secretly invited the Princess here tonight.
What a surprise…
“Why are you silent? Are you still upset about me teasing you earlier?”
Luo Tan looked at the silent young man and chuckled softly, “Or are you hesitating about something?”
She stood on her tiptoes, leaned close to Mu Zhian’s ear, and whispered, “Like… you can only satisfy one of us?”
These words were like igniting a fuse, even Mu Zhian couldn’t bear such a question.
He stopped holding back, wrapped his arm around Luo Tan’s soft and voluptuous waist, looked at the Princess beside him, and said, “Your Highness, is it okay?”
The Princess pursed her lips and leaned gently against the young man.
Then, her gentle and sweet voice echoed through the bedchamber, “Of course.”
“Please keep this a secret from the Great Peng Emperor, and then… fully experience the Great Dao~”
…
That night, Yu State was the same as usual, bustling with activity.
The people sang praises of the Empress, and the imperial palace was patrolled by guards as usual.
No one slacked off during their patrol.
Even late at night, their Empress often worked tirelessly in her bedchamber, reviewing memorials.
Since even Her Majesty was like this, those beneath her naturally had to follow her example.
However, no one knew that their Empress wasn’t reviewing memorials tonight, but was…
Rumble…
At a certain moment, a deafening thunderclap seemed to echo above the Yu State imperial palace, attracting the attention of countless cultivators within, who all looked up.
It came from the Empress’s bedchamber.
Whispers spread among the people.
They thought Her Majesty had refined some pill, attracting a Pill Tribulation or something.
Just then, a five-pointed star formation silently spread outwards from the bedchamber, soft white light rippling like waves, concealing the vast Spiritual Energy emanating from within.
The rumbling thunder also dissipated.
Deep within the Jade Pool Holy Land, Yao Meng seemed to sense something immediately. She looked up in the direction of Yu State, lost in thought.
Not far from her, a young lady with a cool and elegant temperament slowly opened her eyes. A faint silver light enveloped her skin, holy and captivating.
“Holy Maiden, what are you thinking about?” the Jade Pool Holy Maiden asked softly.
Yao Meng said with complex emotions, “I didn’t expect there would be a day I would personally send my beloved to another woman.”
Jade Pool Holy Maiden: “?”
Yao Meng shook her head and said with a smile, “It’s nothing, you can just focus on your cultivation here.”
“Is Holy Maiden planning to go out?” the Jade Pool Holy Maiden asked.
Yao Meng nodded and said faintly, “Going to the Forbidden Zone for a change of scenery.”
“And… there’s something I want to ask Qian’er.”
The Jade Pool Holy Maiden couldn’t help but be stunned.
Master asking a disciple for advice… What could it be?
